2) Dune Drops
Carry sand from a special beach in a one-of-a-kind accessory—hand-sanded and trimmed with sterling silver for a domed, gem-like finish. Choose from their collection of sand from over 1, 500 beaches worldwide or send your own grains from a special beach, golf course, ballpark, or trail.
